    Summary

    A cold metal hand lands on their back. “I have a room at the Baroness,” Calico says, stepping into their line of sight. Her glasses are cracked from the violence, a nasty purple bruise already forming on her cheek. “I can easily upgrade to a two bed room, if you’d like.”

    One battle on the same side will not solve five years of animosity from attempted murder. Pocket may be an urchin, but they do have standards for forgiveness, and Calico has not reached them. They’re quite certain she never will, and that she doesn’t truly want to at all. They were once on the other end of her gun, so why act as if they are fine now?

    They would be better off with Mo and Krill. They’re used to sleeping on the ground, in alleyways, more often than not inside the suitcase. They don’t know if they can trust Calico, she could still be planning to kill them, finish what she started—

    But... fuck, they haven’t slept in a bed in weeks.

    ***

    The ritual fails on both sides. Pocket and Calico decide that getting what they wanted would be easier to achieve together rather than separately.

    Summary

    Ahab’s wicked, frankly deranged smile falls off her face.

    It shouldn’t be possible for anything like this to happen, but even the winds silence its loud whistling, the storm slightly quieting down its deafening rumbling. Some of the sinners take note, Outis can feel Faust’s stare on her back, intrigued. Even Ishmael has started to notice, despite her tunnel-visioned, trauma-and-vengeance-fueled rage. Outis can feel herself become singled out with the searching stare from above, and she, with nowhere to look but up, does exactly that, meeting eye-to-eye with Ahab.

    The old captain’s mouth hangs open. Then morphs a name that can’t be heard through the waves, but Outis knows, knows in her head what she says.

     

    “Odysseus?”

    Rationale insists upon seeing the world as a puzzle, and insists even more that the puzzle not be a mess.
    Compassion is your tender heart, slick with blood.
    Your inner Torque Dork is what enables you to know and understand all the precious machines in your life.
    Houtu is when you’re in a chase, weaving through backroads and alleys, a lone cell racing through the veins and arteries of the Genius Loci.

    All the little things that make you, you.
